VEVORHydraulic Shop Press, 6 Ton/13000lbs, H-Frame, 4-Hold Adjustable Height, with Movable Plates, for Garage or Professional Users, Orange

bought this to press out some control arm bushings, should have probably got the 12 ton instead. bushings were within its operating capabilities and turned out fine but it struggled with lower ball joints. pressing out, there was a bit of a violent pop that ejected the jack completely from the frame, catching me off guard and only narrowly avoiding injury. pressing ball joints in however, was a more fiddly matter. it was unable to provide enough pressure to force the new ball joints straight in on center, the overload bypass works. i was able to overcome this by working the edges in a circle pressing a little at a time until about 90% in then returning to center to finish it out, at near max output of the press it was able to make the last bit in a violent pop to seat the ball joints. the orange paint is not a permanent coating to protect the press, it is merely there to indicate if you have used it at all as it flakes off on contact with anything. the 2 pieces of black plate it comes with are very convenient that they are included however will bend permanently well before the 6t max is ever reached, i suggest getting thicker plates if you plan to use this regularly. actually, i suggest getting a 12t unit if you plan to use this at anything close to it's limit. idk what the parts are all called so i'm going to go with deck height adjustment pins. those are fine, the holes in the frame that accept the pins though, not particularly skookum, all wallowed out already. hell, the deck has a good sag to it too now. so while it seems to be engineered to survive the forces of the 6t jack it's built around, i can honestly say it only just barely does that. this is at best hobby quality, for home light duty use, dont count on it lasting a week in a commercial workshop and is priced accordingly. do not attempt to put any larger jack in this frame, it may just kill you and if you want it to last forever it might be better suited to maybe a 3t jack. so while my results were sub optimal, i know i was asking too much of this tool and my experience with it is my fault. except the paint, the paint could be much better. so weighing all things here, i'm giving this 5 stars overall not because its a great press, it isnt, but because it is exactly the $97 worth of press i paid for and it did what i asked of it when i should have bought $167 worth of press.

I am using this 20-ton, hydraulic press as a welding bend tester. It is very sturdy and well built. Great price. Quick ship.

This is a pretty decent shop press for the home mechanic that is doing occasional light to medium duty work. I have used it to R&R the shafts and bearings on commercial lawn mower spindles, straighten a slightly bent shaft and repair some misaligned clamping tools. It worked flawlessly in those applications and will be a great addition to my shop. Also, its compact size and modest weight make it easy to move and store.On the negative side you must tighten the work beam down securely in order to keep the legs from being wobbly. This prevents you from quickly & easily adjusting the height up or down on the adjustment pins. Also, Vevor would be well advised to include longer and better quality fasteners with the press, many bolts are barely adequate and some are too short. Finally, I’m a little concerned about the relief valve on the bottle jack which feels a little wonky and takes a lot of force to fully close. Hopefully it won’t start leaking down when under pressure.All in all it’s still a good value for the money and I would purchase it again (along with some better nuts, bolts and washers).

Got the press to help with my C3 restoration. The box was open from the end so parts fell out. I opted not to send it back and took Amazons, discount. I really wish I had sent it back. Besides the missing parts which I can get at Home depot or hardware store this thing is short and not built very well. The center piece that gets all the pressure kinda just sits in between the uprights with loose bolts if you want to be able to adjust it freely up and down when you need to. What ill wind up doing is putting spacers between the support to be able to tighten the bolts and give me free access to adjust it up and down. I think it will do what i need it too, but i should have sent it back and went to Harbor freight and purchased the 20ton for 50 more bucks.

Came faster than expected was very easy to put together and will do exactly what I needed to do. Thank you supplier for the fast shipping and thank you VEVOR for quality products

The press arrived in two nested boxes (a box in a box) but all pieces were present. Assembly was simple. I used a rafter square to ensure the feet were perpendicular to the risers and assembly took about 10 minutes. There are two sizes of washers and nuts. Four for the legs and two for the press table. The two included plates are minimal, but functional. The entire press is coated in orange paint which is already flaking off, which is anreplaceable. The included bottle jack is unsecured but easily replacable. One of the tabs broke off the relief valve immediately upon first use. Not a deal breaker for me given the low price of the press but not great, for sure. My major concern lies in the bolts of the work table. They are very weak (head reads 7.8 which is very poor grade) and there are no sleeves to maintain spacing. This means you cannot tighten the bolts down as the table would squeeze against the risers and make the table unadjustable. After only two presses, the bolts are bending and will have to be replaced. This isn't much of a problem for me as I have access to more fasteners and sleeves but I don't know how many other home-gamers are so fortunate. They really should have used much stronger bolts and included sleeves (just tunes that slip over the bolts to maintain spacing) as 6+/- tons of shearing force is quite a lot for suboptimal bolts to endure for very long. If you're using this as a platform for herbal pressing, this might not be such an issue for you, though, as the functional pressures are much lower.

bought and used to press bearings onto lockers and pinions for the regear on my jeep. worked great. easy to assemble
